I help you look and feel your best

There’s nothing more rewarding, as a hair professional, than watching happy clients leave the salon with a spring in their step and looking their best. 

This is no normal salon as it’s nestled within my home, and I’ve designed it to be an exclusive one-to-one experience for you every time you visit. You can enjoy a perfect blend of comfort, privacy and personalised attention in a setting created to make you feel truly special.

A personal touch

Nothing is more important than creating a look that works for you, from your face structure and skin tone to the time, skill and interest you have in styling your hair. I’ll listen carefully and show you tips and tricks to use between appointments.

Creative design

I’m passionate about keeping up to date with ever-changing trends and I’m also committed to creating an individual look that suits you perfectly. I pride myself on creating styles that are effortless and wearable – so you feel confident every day.

A relaxing haven

Based in my home, I’ve taken care of every detail from the luxurious backwash and delightful refreshments to the individual attention I provide. It’s a relaxed experience from the moment you arrive (lots of free parking!) to the moment you leave.

I’ve been a hairdresser for over 25 years – and I absolutely love it!

I started my training in South Africa and was already winning awards for my cutting and colouring skills when I was still an apprentice. I’ve now been a professional hairdresser in the UK for more than twenty years. My work is grounded in the techniques and skills I was taught through rigorous training with specialist educators including Pivot Point and London’s prestigious Sassoon Academy. I’m also a fully trained Schwarzkopf Colour Master. 

 Beyond the salon, I’m a keen gardener – another great way to express my creative side – and that love of the natural world extends to the products I choose to work with. My core product ranges, Olaplex and Schwarzkopf Professional, are eco-conscious, cruelty-free, vegan and free from sulphates and parabens, and my packaging is all recyclable.

Bridal hair and up-dos for special events

Whether it’s for a prom, wedding or another special occasion, I’ll create a look you love. Take your pick from plaiting, up-dos, heat styling, volumising, defrizzing, curling, hair-half-up-half-down styles, or a combination of them.

Education and tutoring for freelance hairdressers

Before setting up my home salon, I worked in prestigious salons in Durban (South Africa), London and Surrey. As an in-salon assessor, I’ve trained many juniors/stylists over the years and now offer practical mentoring and tutoring to other freelancers in the industry.
